What time will the Bellew vs Usyk fight start TONIGHT and how can I watch it on TV?

The Bomber is looking to cause a seismic shock in world boxing once more by toppling the fearsome undisputed cruiserweight champion

Tony Bellew will again assume the role of the underdog tonight when he goes up against the undefeated cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk at Manchester Arena.

The Ukrainian is putting his WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF and Ring Magazine belts on the line against Liverpool’s Bellew, who will have a vocal home crowd on side.

Even though the proud Scouser has claimed this fight will be his last before retirement, the 35-year-old could have hardly picked a more difficult opponent.

Unbeaten and largely untroubled in his 15 professional fights, Usyk is the real deal and is already plotting a route to a heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua in the future.

Bellew is the former WBC cruiserweight king, but vacated the belt when he moved up to heavyweight for his two wins over David Haye.

In his absence, Usyk conquered the entire decision and will be looking to defend all the gold he so easily claimed once again.
